Any one know any interesting /obscure history from the walls of J / central plateau areas?
Loved reading about Boy Miles at Lake Ball. Have there been any good books written about the area?

It's title is "The Tale Of Ruby Rose" directed by Roger Scholes, and there used to one copy of the DVD in the Tas State Library system when I last checked. Here are some links to info about it. Its worth seeing for the magnificent footage of the Walls of Jerusalem in winter. Very moody and atmospheric.

The Tasmanian State Library has only one copy and it appears to be a burnt copy with a poor quality photocopy cover with no details about the DVD production. Screensound Australia has occasionally presented this film in its traveling film festivals.
